PARTING WORD
OP A PASTOR
TAREWELL SERMON OP REV. S.
F. MATHEWS.
In Savoring His Connection with tha
First Baptist Church, of South
Main Avenue, ' the Fostor of the
Last Seven Years Feelingly Ex
presses tho Sentiments Aroused by
His Leave-Taking No Word So
Full of Meaning and Fathos as the
Word Farewell.
In the First Baptist church of South
Main avenue, last night, Hev. S. F.
Muthews delivered his farewell sermon,
tuklng for his text the words found In
II Corinthians, xlll:lt, "Finally breth
ren farewell. Be pel feet, bo of good
comfort, be. of one mind, live In peace
nnd the God of love and peace shall be
with you." Itev. Mr. Mathews spoke
as follows:
There Is no word In all of our expressive
mother tongue that Is so full of meaning
mid of pathos ni that one la let stiango
end woid, farewell. Whciever hpokon
or tittcied by human lip, It means tho
Bimdeihig of the tics that make life a joy
nnd gives Us sweetest, tendcicst meaning,
nnd ns we now stand heiu tonight ut
tcilng It with leluctnnt tongue; it Is with
n piofound emotion, as If we were Indeed
about to bieathe some stiango weird
upell that shall cause all of the past be
tween us to fade away like an unsub
stantial dream. A spell that Is about to
cut In one severing sweep tho solemn yet
beautiful social ties that have bound us
us pastor nnd people so long together;
mil shall as vessels parted In mid ocean
nllow us now and foiever In the futuro of
human time to diift wider and wider
npatt until foiesor lost fiom human view.
As we bieathe that fateful word softly,
tcndoily, sadly, wo fool that theio Is In
It a something that levcals clearly and
distinctly our human fate and our human
doom, the one woid that ever and ever
echoes Its solemn sound under every sky,
in eveiy clime of son owing lieaits of
sighing spit Its, or dlspalilng souls, of sin
bioken and sin cuised humanity.
AVI I AT THIS AVORD TI3LLS.
As the fluttcilng sheet ticmbllng In the
ngltated air of a storm swept ocean and
railed to the chattel ed mast, tells of
wifck and mill, ho docs that strange
woid tell of the wieek nnd iiiln of hu
manity, tell of the mighty stoim to the
sou! that under the doom of some Mi
pieme power has made it ruddeiless,
muhtlcss, and almost a hopeless wreck.
That wind was ncer designed by the Al
mighty God when lie wrote the mighty
IonIcoh of this gloiious universe. AA'hen
He wiote in letteis or gold the word .sun
fcliine; when lie wtote In the beauty nnd
' cxquTslte fi.igiance of the (lowers the
woids lose nnd violet and jasmine; when
Ho wrote In colors of cat mine and azure,
ciimson and emeiald the IUIiie woids re
plete with life all mound us in tho ci ca
tion. There was no faiowrll in the great
vncabulmy of tho Infinite when His
bie.ith gave motion nnd life to the voices
of joy nnd gladness that tin Hied in a
thousand harmonies nil through natuie at
its hit th. No, it is the one daik woid
wiitton by man with his fateful finger In
tho beginning of his destiny, wiltten In
that solemn fe.uful hour when In the
shades of Eden nmld its God given pro
fusion and loveliness and Its nolo of per
vading peace, man spoke the (list datk
teulblo faiowell to honor, to happiness,
to pence, to puilty and ills God, in his
mad jlcldlng to .sin, Instead of a pure
mid glad obedience to his rather God.
It Is a very blgnllicnnt fact that nmld
the sweetness and glory of such a home,
was fin en oil to hollnrts, to life and
earthly happiness spoken. How sadly 't
has been duplicated since for faiowell hns
not always come as the end of misery;
not ns tho death of all that is Intolerable
in human life, but it has often, very
often como as a teniblc somcthlns to
tear us fiom cmlhly pence and joy.
F.ucwell has been uttcied by many a
lip when It least desired It, as stern into
has tailed the joung, the happy from the
enjoyment of life nnd fi lends to descend
into the valley of dissolution; Into tho
hhadow that veils tho dark poitals of tho
unknown.
PERVADES OUR HUMANITY.
How the woid peivadcs our humanity,
it ever weaves like a tin cad of black
tluoiigh all tho weaving of our poor sad
human life. AVe cannot shut It out or bid
it vanish; like Banquo's ghost. It ever
steals on tho scene of our plcasmes when
the least wanted, tho least desired, and
when it comes it comes to bid pleasure
depart nnd from tin one to cottage to
summon tho tear to tho eye, sadness (o
the heart, grief to tho home nnd tho bit
ter to nestle foreier moie within tho
Bweet.
When that couple ruined, wrecked and
tinder n curse, escaped fiom their home
in Edqn, they can led nothing in their
empty hands ns souvenirs of tho past;
hut they carried a spectra with them, a
ghost that should haunt every homo for
evcrmoie. A ghost thnt should tincic cv
ciy child fiom the womb of Evo until the
last that shnll be born before the worid"s
linnl doom, and it was tho ghost of fare
well. The sob of farewell as they turned from
Eden has been echoed in a million tones
blnco then, and today It rings out still In
a thousand ways to dlsticss tho soul. I
pften think of a possible world that never
Know In Its Hweet experience that dreaded
word, of its homes, that word never
tioublcd by its utterance, of hearts that
woid never sot throbbing with its pain,
nnd somehow when I get the chain com
plete of a world glorious with no ndieux,
with no farewell, I hnvo tho world such
ns God must hnvo created this; a ma
terial heaven tho first grand stepping
htono to God's own homo of the soul.
Hut now oh how changed.
As I tuin my eye, ns It Is guided, by
that ono word, I see it as it is.tho bnno of
earthly happiness. I tee a woild trying to
ho happy, trying to forget, trying to
banish from Its thoughtu a something
-that ovor haunts it; the faiowell at last
to every earthly joy that must como! I
see by tho holy altar of God tho two
who stand there to plcdgo tho most sa
cred vows thnt over foil from human lip;
I seo the timid slu Inking form robed In
bildnl white, ready to glyo Itsolf away In
a sublime faith born of love and snuo
tilled by hope, "For richer or poorer, in
sickness or In health, in ptospetlty or
adversity," God helping, "I seo tho
manly lover wllji tho sumo Impulso ex
changing tho same grand truth, and I seo
thorn at lust as to tho sound of tho mar
riage hymn, they turn away as luiBhand
nnd wlfa to trend tho (list steps of n
mutual life, rich with the blessings of
God.
Theio fire many farewells in this life,
Bomo full of grief, exqulslto pain, somo
thank God that have a hopo In them of
a better thing to follow, Tho farewell
to the summer Is a snd adieu, as In the
autumn wo seo tho long procession of the
flowery bloom fade out npd perish; as wo
Bee tho superb skies change to the sullen
-hues of wlntor. But thoie Is oven then
tho hope that soon the summer shall re
turn and wo shall seo all nature in her
sweet loveliness i embed a'galn. There Is
a terrible farewell when we part with
friends never to meet ngaln, In time, per
haps never In eternity. There Is a fare
well to honor when for earthly things
we barter the knighthood of tha soul, its
pure, bright aspirations of tho living
truth for the lust of passion, or tho lust
of gold. AVhen like a Judas we leavo the
Christ of the soul to go out into eternal
..' shame, Into tho night of outer darkness
of sin nnd misery, and there Is a glorious
farewell even In this world. in which tha

when he nioso In nn eternal farewell to

And there IM ono sad unique farewell
that has its illustration here tonight, as
standing before jou on tills pulpit my lips
bieathe tho pastor's farewell; a faiowell
in its profoundest sense to all of tho in
timate Chiistiau and official relations
thnt have existed between us an pastor
nnd people. It is a solemn moment to us
all, the moment when upon the canvass
the plctuie of a dissolving lew begins to
change, ns old things begin to pass away
and the new to blend In its coming out
lines with the past, our connections in
tho most solemn and yet gracious union
thnt can exist. on earth is dissolving even
as I speak to you. A few mote words
und the past will be over; the past tof
tho Mieicd pastoial l elation between us
and jet while It Is dissolving, leaving for
tho etcinnl futiuo conclusions and le
sijonslblllties that only the tin ono of tho
linnl Judgment can weigh and settle.
11 Is a profoundly solemn moment to
mo as 1 now stand hero and bi lolly re
view the past in tho light of n gic.it trust
Imposed upon me ns minister of God nncl
Ills gospel, to jou as a people and a
church; for the question now bofoio me
comes out with a clearness and pieclslon
as I never befoio have sensed it. Have
I done my duty in tho complex relation
of pastor and picacher? 1 cannot answer
it, tho utmost 1 can say is that I have
tiled to do my best. But what has been
the duty, to flatter, to administer only
to your pleasures, to speak only of pleas
ant tilings? No, but often times tho un
gracious task to warn, to entreat, to
speak of things not sweet to the unwill
ing car; but jot with all to lend you to
a Cluist, to prcpaie j'ou for tho steii
lealities of the judgment; to woo and win
you If I could to heaven. But It Is all over
now. The next we meet will be by tlie
throuo of God and there the tiust civen
mutually to us both will bo examined,
weighed, nnd wo all shall know our each
and eveiy lesponslblltty in tho case,
jours in hearing and mine In preaching.
SEVEN YEARS' PASTORATE.
The relation between us as pastor and
parishioners these nearly seven years has
been very cjose and very dear, wo have
stiuggled together thiough stoim and
sunshine, we have bad sole tiials and
double my people ns we have battled to
gether for better things and higher re
sults and I trust not in vain. I have been
with some of you In the hour of the soul's
deepest woe, in its darkest experience,
and I have hold tho hands of your dear
ones and seen them die. They aio my
loved ones now boin to mo out of tho
gieat soi rows as well us youts. 1 have
been with somo of you In deep distress
and sought to bear It with you, and hae
felt in consequence as if 1 were a brother
to j'ou forever moie.
I have been with you in joy, my hand
has crossed your hnnds in the solemn
covenant of your mniilage and 1 feel
that 1 am mid shall bo nemer to you as
friend nnd pastor until wo meet In heaven
by that solemn act, and now ns I btand
hero my soul goes out in one deep pro
found prayer for you all, for your pros
perity, your happiness and your contin
ual joj How anxiously I feel now that
eveiy harsh woid that may havo been ut
tered thoughtlessly nt any time, in any
place, may bo forgotten, thnt wo may re
member ono another In all tho futiuo
only In Clulstian filcudship, in Chilstlnn
lovo. If I havo spoken hero as picacher
In tho stiong Inclslvo words of tho gos
pel, It wns a Christian warning common
to us all; It was tho kindness of entreaty.
If I have spoken to you sinner in tho ap
parent temper of heated discussion, it
wns only my earnestness, n sttong, deep,
profound deslro on tho pai t of ono to savo
j-ou. Lot us only remember now in pait
Ing that wo aio ull tho chlldicu of one
Father nnd of ono God that loves us all,
with nil our faults nnd fallings ns wo
ought to lovo as Christ commanded ono
another.
AVORDS D- THE PSALMIST.
And now ns I conclude tho solemn 1m
prcsslvo words of the Psalmist, comes to
mo us something appiopilate to tho hour,
tho thought nnd tho occasion, Says Da
vid, "Walk about '.Urn and go louud
about her, tell tho toworsjhercof. Mink
yo well her bill walks, consider her pal
aces that vo may toll It to tho generation
following," Those woids tire pregnant
with tho thought, how do I leavo our
Ulon? As I take my dcpaituio henlo,
may I not say that her towers liuvo been
strengthened in tho pieseut pustoiato of
nearly bovou yems? I found them of
wood on tho by-wuy and 1 leavo them of
stono and throned llko a queen upon this
brondway of the city, "Her windows
havo been changed to n gates" nnd "Her
borders to pleasant stones" and this by
tho giuco of God and tho earnest work,
sucrlllco and co-oidluatiug helpfulness or
Its own memboishlp, stimulated by Its
own ehthuslasm. No less cnn&bo said In
all tiuth of tho chinch spiritual, with tho
soul within Its external foim. It has
grown In graco and tho knowledge of
truth, why should it not contlnuo to
grow when God has blessed so much.
And now, brethren, my closing charge,
made solemn by tho fact that I shall
never utter it again to you, la "make for
peace," "make for brotherly love," make
for union with all the earnestness of your
living soul. Not only for God's sako but
for your own, remembering that thus
bound together nono can hurt you but
yourselves.
"Finally, brethren, farewell, bo per
fect, be of good comfort, be of ono mind,
live in peace and tho God of lovo and
peace stuU bo with you."

OUR CROWNS
AND CROSSES
INTERESTING SERMON BY REV.
DR. R. F. Y. FIERCE.
Pulpit of Fcnn Avenue Baptist
Church Wbb Yesterday Filled by
the Fastor for the First Time Since
His Return from Abroad He Says
Thnt the Sabbath Is Observed In
America Moro Consistently Than in
European Lands Each Person Has
Hits Own Cross.
Hev. Dr. n. F. Y. Pierce filled the
pulpit of the Ponn Avenue Baptist
church yesterday, for the first time
since his return from his European
trip. In the morning his theme wns
"Builders of a Kingdom," nnd ut the
evening service ho spoke Interestingly
of "No Cross Without n Crown."
Dr. Pierce wits slightly hoarse, nnd
owing to this nnd the excessive heat
his evening address wns rather brief.
Ho prefaced the sermon by remnrklng
that it was good to again see Sundny
observed ns only Americans observe
It. "No land," snld he, "seems able to
appreciate this heaven-given dny, llko
Amerlen, unless It may possibly be
dear old Scotland. Neither England
nor Ireland seems to enjoy the full
significance of tho day. There me
touches of tho Sabbath however In Ger
many, still more In Switzetland, and
less in Italy."
In speaking upon his text, Dr. Pierce
maintained that wo nil havo our crosses
in this world, and It all depends upon
our manner of bearing them, whether
or not we nre to be rewarded with
glorious crowns. Said he;
KING EDAVARD'S CROWN.
"During the last few weeks the eyes
of nil the civilized world havo been
directed on the kingdom of England,
on tho crown which was to be placed
on tho brow of King Edward, I
.shall never forget the anxiety and de
pression which fell upon that entire
nation when the dread message came
that the king was 111 and tho coronation
inust be postponed.
"But, my friends, let us look far
backward, and we can sec the corona
tion of another king, of the prince of
light, Jesus Christ. There was no
postponement of his coronation. He
received his crown promptly from God,
and the time will jet come when men
will grant him another crown. The
diadem of King Edward was precious
and beautiful.
It blazes with the radiant light dif
fused bj- over three thousand jewels,
some of them numbered among the
costliest gems yet unearthed. But
vastly more glorious Is the crown
which adorns the biow of our Lord
Jesus. AVhnt more interesting books
are now read by eager lovers of litera
ture than those dealing directly or in
directly with the life and works of the
Saviour?
"None, and In this way the gem of
literature is taken from the woild and
placed oii the eiown of Jesus. What
music is giander or moro inspiring than
the sacred anthems, with which the
Lord is praised? Nono, and here again
the beautiful gem of music finds Its
wny to the diadem of our Lord. And
the redemption of men's souls. Ah,
there is another glorious jewel, which
adorns his crown.
EACH HAS HIS CROSS.
"Each of us has his cioss to carry in
this woild. In fact we have many
crosses to bear. One cross Is submis
sion, nnother self-surrender, still an
other self-sacrifice, and above all the
cross of duty.
"The cross of kindness and charity is
easily borne and quickly brings us re
wind. An j' charitable deed. If It is
only a glass of water given to an un
fortunate wayfarer, brings us :i crown
of blessing. In helping up the falling
and lifting those who are saddened, we
rapidly gather together the gems which
are to adorn for us a future crown."
MEETS WITH OPPOSITION
Reasons Why Ordinance Merging
tTnexpended Balances Is Not
Favored.
Even in tho event of its successful
passage through councils, there appears
to be a stormy future awaiting the
ordinance recently Introduced In com
mon council providing for tho merging
of all unexpended balances into a fund
to be utilized for the payment of de
ficiency bills.
Recorder W. L. Connell does not ap
prove of the measure, In Its present
form, and is practically certain to veto
It when it reaches him. Tho ordinance
is practically fathered by City Con
troller P. AV. Costello, who has long
claimed that the only way In which to
meet the Inrge number of old bills
which nro constantly being unearthed
by the auditing committee of council Is
to establish u fund from last year's
balances.
Statements prepared by tho controller
show that the balances ate about $5,000
In excess of the deficiencies, which
would thus assure the payment of all
claims nnd leave a neat margin, Sticnu
oub objection comes, however, from
lieuds of depaitments, who claim that
their icnsons for economizing on and
carefully guarding hiBt year's nppio
prlatlon wns fur from a deslro to con
trlbuto towards tho puyment of old
bills.
Efforts ure being made by tho direc
tor of public safety, for Instance, to ob
taln tho transfer of a sufficient amount
of last year's balance in his depait
ment to pay for the purchase of addi
tional horses for the fire department,
nnd to secure u transfer of $133 to his
appropriation for printing this year.
Tho new oidlnance, however, luthlessly
gathers together nil balances, except
those ullotcd for some specific purpose
not yet executed, nnd casts them (in
put tlntly Into tho common fund,
Its pnvsage would, of course, obviate
